SUBJECT: BASELINE COMMUNITY CENTRE DEFICIENCIES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended to Council:
1. That Report CS -22 -86 be received; and
2. That staff be authorized to proceed with the installation of
eavestrough on the north and south sides of the Baseline Community
Centre; and
3. That the cost (approximately $1,200)
be drawn from the Baseline Reserve Fund; and
4. That Report CS -21 -86 be lifted from the table and received as presented.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of April 7th
Committee tabled report CS -21 -86 and requested staff to report back to
Council regarding the need for eavestroughing and the problem of lifting
shingles.
In reference to the need for eavestroughs, the architect was asked to respond
in writing on this issue. As per the attached letter from Grant Robertson,
he is now recognizing that eavestroughing should have been included in the
specifications. It is therefore recommended that staff proceed with
CS -22 -86
-2-
quotations and install eavestroughing on the north and south sides of the
building.
In reference to the curling or lifting of roof shingles, Gerr Construction
have been called and a letter has followed requesting the contractor to
secure the shingles. Mr. Gerrits assured me that the roof is under warranty
and the problem will be fixed immediately.

Dear Mr. Devantier,
Re: Base Line Community Centre
In response to you telphone call regarding the need for eaves
trough on the Centre the following are my comments.
I have checked with Mrs. R. Metcalf regarding; this item as it
was discussed during the construction phase, and decided to
see if the lack of eaves troughing was going to create any
problems. Subsequently they have found that during a windy
west rain the spill from the roof blows water under the
Entrance canopy. Also they are concerned that the lack of
eavestroughing prevents them from planting any flower beds
next to the building. In order to accommodate the above I
would recommend eaves troughing be run on the north and south
sides draining to down spouts on the west. In addition to
the above, the eaves troughing will also reduce the wetting
of the brick. Although I have used a similar roof detail on
other projects, in hindsight I recognize now that the eaves
troughing should have been included.
Sincerely,
Gra t Robertson
C/C Mrs. R. Metcalf

The architect, builder and representatives of the Base Line Community Centre as well
as Town officials were present for the final inspection of the Hall. With the
exception of three (3) or four (4) small problems noted and agreed to be rectified by
the contractor, all were pleased with the results of the inspection.
The Hall Board is currently re- examining the question of the necessity of an eaves
trough along the north side of the building and the matter of the necessity of filling
in the grass islands in the parking lot. A separate report will be presented when the
results of these deliberations are completed. If changes are required, any funds
required to complete these tasks would be drawn from the Base Line Community Centre
Reserve Fund.
Earlier fears about possible flooding of the building did not materialize.
The facility is already heavily booked for this calendar year and it is anticipated
that this extensive community use of the facility will continue in the future.
The Board has expressed some concern with respect to acts of vandalism and have been
reporting such incidents to the police.
We compliment Gerr Construction and Grant Robertson, Architect and the Hall Board for
a job well done.
Respectfully submitted,
i�
